I have an old Dell Latitude that I’m trying to get working with a wifi dongle. I have a Realtek, Panda, and TP Link dongle but none of them seem to be working.
Usually, I just slap one of them into the raspberry pi or whatever I’m working on, run an update, and it works. But I’m starting to worry the USB ports on this 2007 laptop aren’t good enough to run a 600Mbps wifi dongle.
I’ve used Ubuntu, Debian, and now I’m trying Pop OS. Not opposed to trying a different distro, but I don’t think I’m getting windows on this.
It currently works with a Ethernet cable.
I have 8gb DDR2 and a Core 2 duo.
